Hi guys, i am in the process of buying parts for a new PC I wish to build, so far I have a Corsair Obsidian 550d, Asus Sabertooth FX990 FX R2.0 and an OCZ Vector 256gb SSD. I am kind of stuck on which memory I should pick, could anyone please help. I was going to go for the ripjaws z series but dont seem to find it in the UK for that motherboard. I am after 16gb but eventually will be upgrading to 32gb so will need to be 8gb modules. Got a budget of around £150 for the 16GB. Please can anyone help me. Links would be appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

Great mobo, but to help you with DRAM selection, need the most important part - What CPU? The Sabertooth supports up to 1866 which many FX CPUs can handle, but if thinking 32GB then prob need to think 1600 for a higher end FX CPU, or 1333 for a lower end FX or less - with AMD in particular yhave to know what a CPU can handle otherwise you could just buy some highend and end up throwing money away if the CPU can't carry the sticks
